Linux and windows use different types of line breaks. Linux uses \n and Windows \r\n (And mac \r I believe). So I think you should add an extra \r when your program is run on Windows and the user hits enter.
I don't know why Textview doesn't do that itself. I'm a pygtk beginner myself...

The program has a left pane and a right pane. The left pane is a gtk.TextView and the right pane is a gtk.Image. The idea is that the left pane shows the OCR'd text created from the image in the right pane. You use the text view to make corrections to the text and save them. You can see the code here: http://git.sugarlabs.org/e-book-making-scripts/mainline/blobs/master/proofer.py This program works flawlessly in Linux, but not in Windows. In Windows everything works *except* when you hit the Enter key in the TextView. It does not insert a new line. What's odd is that if you look at a file edited with the program in Windows in Linux then you DO see the inserted lines, so they are going into the text buffer but the TextView does not show them. Every other key works just fine in Windows. It's just the Enter key that's messed up. I'm using the very latest Python plus the very latest PyGTK, Cairo, PyGObject, and GTK+ bundle. If anyone has ideas on how to work around this I'd sure like to hear them. For myself I can use the program under Linux, but I want my readers to be able to use it under Windows and the Mac as well.
